It was amusing, one by one they took tails and without them realizing they had all taken the order in which they were born in. Haruki first, Hotaru second, and Sumi last. She took a moment to look them over, reminiscing already and trying to log this precious little memory away into her mind for forever, never to forget their precious little faces all holding tails - even if Sumi was obviously plotting on slipping away the moment she thought it was clear to do so and go on her own little adventure.
Not yet. Some day little Sumi would understand and forgive how strict her mother was being while they were still so small, one day she would be able to see anything she wanted and all Reiko could do was hope she would be safe and be a home she could return to. Born to run. Haruki was more so a mommy's boy, ready to please, to get that praise and be the good boy he thought his mother wanted to be - at least from what Reiko could see from his actions. Born to lead. Finally, Hotaru, the softest and sweetest of the bunch. Among all three, she would be a star, born not only to sing but to be heard and loved, she was certain the girl would grow to be a shinning woman one day.
All three so different and yet so lovely all the same, each unique among themselves.
Snapping out of her love-filled daze, she shook her head and looked back toward their path as Haruki, with her tail between his teeth called out "'EADY!" Ready indeed! They were eager to see the world beyond the invisible boundaries their mother had placed and couldn't wait any longer!
Weaving through the grasses in the most scenic route she could take, showing them all the little paths and different things they might not have seen yet. Flowers, certain bugs maybe if they can get close enough before it flies away. Smells too she could pick out during their walk of a rabbit walking by. All the while she hummed an upbeat tune, gently singing loud enough for all to hear in the near vicinity.

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurray!~In a silly little dance, she marched forward, swaying with every step and throwing her legs out front as if leading the little puppy march.
Hiromi, Yuudai and Takeshi are welcome in all threads Reiko is in unless marked as Private! When outside of Northstar Vale it is always assumed one of her guards is near by and will be tagged into the thread if necessary!
Severe bite wounds along neck, moderate along nape, and bruising. Healing will take 6 weeks starting Saturday, July 04.
